‘New’ Soshi Concept: Black Friday.

It’s been a while since the girls last promoted, and many fans are eagerly anticipating their Japanese comeback Mr. Taxi & Run Devil Run. As their first *new* single in Japan, there’s certainly a lot of mystery surrounding the song style and the type of reception this guy will receive in the land of the rising sun. It was announced today however, that the girls will be re-using the Mr. Taxi ‘Black Soshi’ theme and outfits for their Korean comeback in early May, which will be titled Black Friday.

According to rumors, the music video for Mr. Taxi will end as a teaser, with the girls entering a 9-seater cab (similar to the limousines they had in America with San Antonio Top Limo) driven by ‘Mr. Taxi’. At the beginning of the Black Friday video, the same cab will enter a shopping center parking lot, and Soshi will proceed to do their Black Friday shopping coldheartedly without giving a care about their surroundings. The appearance of SNSD on such a day causes shoppers to burst into 9 billion scraps of chaos in their attempts for Philadelphia Cream Cheese a taste of heaven. However, as depicted in the scene, anybody that comes close to one of the girls will be weak at their knees and faint, resulting in bodies lying all over the place like a Soshipocalypse – apparently the true reason why the devil runs.

A spokesperson for SM Entertainment announced:

The concept of Black Friday will continue from Mr. Taxi, but the song will be a cover of American singer Rebecca Black’s ever popular song ‘Friday‘, which has reached over 65 million views and over 150,000 ‘likes’ on the video streaming site Youtube. At SM Entertainment, we are proud to work with the international community to bring the latest trends in music to our loyal fans at home and overseas. There may be an opportunity to work with Ms. Rebecca in the very near future, please look forward to it. We hope the promotional video we have prepared for Black Friday accurately expresses the dominance that Girls’ Generation has on the wallets of consumers worldwide.

In response to the announcement, there was a very mixed reaction amongst Korean SONEs. Some fans were disappointed that SME was re-using the outfits with a continuation video, but didn’t mind that it was a cover:

SM can do better with the outfits, but I’m excited that it’s a song with Western influence. I want to hear Soshi’s English again like in Run Debil Run.

Other Sones didn’t care as long as SNSD started to fricking promote again.

Like many international fans, I’m a bit disappointed that SME decided to do a cover again, but I’m looking forward to seeing how the girls can bring their own flavour to Friday. It’s clear that SM is the marketing genius that it is for a reason, as Friday’s popularity is undeniable and will only bring even more international attention to the 9 girls that changed our world.

Not only that, but the song gives off a very joyous feeling, like our girl’s own Etude. If that’s not enough reason, then.. well, above all else, it’s a catchy song. Just imagine – it’s 2:18 in the morning and you’re the only car driving down the highway at whatever speed you feel like, cruisin’ with all the freedom in the world; tomorrow is Saturday and Sunday comes afterwards.. yeah.

Very funny. Even before I clicked this I knew it there would be a high possibility of a April Fool’s joke in this post, but I wasn’t sure until the “shopping coldheartedly without giving a care about their surroundings.”

i was going to cry! today is already a horrible day b/c i didnt get into a good high school. i wanted to kill myself, but didnt want my family to be sad. i was going even more crazy when i read this! :[ THOUGHT IT WAS REAL UNTIL I SAW THESE COMMENTS!

I realized it was an April Fools’ joke almost immediately but part of me STILL wanted to believe it since we’ve been sooooo Soshi-deprived. But anyways, thanks for the light-hearted post in light of everything that’s happening on this site.

I already got tricked by soshified so I knew right away this was an april fool’s joke haha but awesome one!
eww rebecca black no thank you, a lot i mean a lot of people i know do not like that song as it is seriously annoying.

OH. MY. DAMN.
I was about to shoot myself in the head when I saw this.
Thank god I scrolled down to the comments.
Holy shit, if this wasn’t a joke I swear, I would go crazy.
I hate that ‘Friday’ song. Just, Ughhh.
So this better be a joke!

Is SM trying to ruin SNSD??? They should know better. Don’t they know SNSD is going to get so much mockery and hate comments for covering the song Friday? I mean of all songs, they HAD to choose Friday. Oh I can’t look… +_+

ATTENTION SONES: Mr. Taxi is now postpone from April 13 to April 27…NO JOKE! You can check CDJapan and YesAsia for the postponement change of date…I guess its inevitable, but SM will release the official announcement soon!

and I thought all of this was for real! I almost died when I read here that they’re gonna cover Rebecca Black’s “Friday”! I mean this Rebecca pronounces “Friday” in the song as “fried egg”. Lol I read this off somewhere else actually. but luckily I saw the comments here..and BHAM!! april’s fool y’all!

Wow, I just realized how gullible I am. I totally fell for Soshified’s Mr. Taxi with Justin Bieber and now I just fell for this one. I was starting to question SM lol. I didn’t even know it was an April Fool’s thing until I read some of the comments.

I was totally believing this and began to get really upset that SME would use of all people Rebecca Black for a cover for their comeback. That was a good joke, but I seriously got upset…which proves how loyal of a Sone I am…whoooooof!

holy schnitzel. i was so close to getting rly mad at this, but i’m relieved that it was only an april’s joke. xD
srsly.. that friday song is the most annoying batshit crazy a*s song on the internet. damn, you got me.. ;P

After deterring my friends from using April Fool’s jokes on me, I was gullible enough to believe everything that has been typed out in the first paragraph… Until I read the second paragraph.

First thing that came into my mind was “Okay, this is totally unnatural of SNSD and SME, why would they want to do that? Unless they’re going for something else new, I’m all for it”

Then, the third paragraph: “A cover of Rebecca Black’s Friday? What!?” By this point, I realized that everything had been utter BS and was an April Fool’s joke made upon us unsuspecting readers.

One could easily tell with the way the sentences are phrased and the dubious information.
To read this at the start of the day, it really brightens up my day in laughter. With regards to what RagingXL said, it pretty much sums up what I have to say after this, lol.

Daym! i actually thought they were gonna do a cover of rebecca black’s friday! i was like !@#$%!!!!! HELL NO!!! then i saw the comments hahahaha! the joke’s on me… and the others who fell for it as well hahaha
I guess it’s all FUN FUN FUN!

If you're still Girls' Generation in the next lifetime, we will still be your S♡NE.
